! Do not use diesel to refue
lvehicles with a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignitio nif
you accidentally refue lwith the wrong fuel.
Otherwise, the fuel wille nter the fuel system.
Even smal lamounts of the wrong fuel can
result in damage to the fuel system and the
engine. Notify aqualified specialist workshop
and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.
! Only refue
lusing unleadedp etrol with at
least 95 ROZ ,that conforms to the European
standar dEN228 orEDIN or an equivalent
specification.
Fuel of this specificatio nmay contain up to
10% ethanol .Yourv ehicl eiss uitable for use
with E10 fuel .You may refue lyou rv ehicle
using E10 fuel.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 can lead
to increased wearasw ellasd amage to the
engine and exhaust system.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operating
the vehicl ewith other fuel scan leadtoe ngine
failure.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85% ethanol)
R E100 (100% ethanol)
R M15 (petrol with 15% methanol)
R M30 (petrol with 30% methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85% methanol)
R M100 (100% methanol)
R petrol with additives containing metal
R diesel
Do not mix such fuel swith the fuel recom-
mended for yourv ehicle.
Usually you willf ind information about the fuel
grad eont he pump .Ifyou cannot find the label
on the petrol pump ,ask the filling station staff.
C1 80, C250, C300: asatemporary measure,
if the recommende dfuel is not available,y ou
may alsou se regular unleadedp etrol with an
octane rating of 93 RON.
All other models: asatemporary measure, if
the recommende dfuel is not available,y ou may
alsou se regular unleadedp etrol with an octane
rating of 91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increas efuel consumption. Avoid 372

driving at full throttle and sudden acceleration.
Never refuel using fuel with alower RON.
i In some countries, the available petro
lmay
not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant odours,
especially on short journeys. As soon as sul-
phur-free fuel (sulphur conten t<10ppm) is
used for refuelling, the odours are reduced.
Information on refuelling (Y page 167).
Mercedes-AMG vehicles
! Only refuel using super unleaded petro
lwith
at least 98 ROZ, that conform stoEuropean
standard EN 228 or an equivalent specifica-
tion.
You can otherwise impair engin eoutput or
damage the engine.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle
using E10 fuel.
! As
atemporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petro lwith an octane ratin gof
95 RON. This may reduce engin eperform-
ance and increase fuel consumption .Asmuch
as possible, avoid driving at full throttle.
! As
atemporary measure, if the recommen-
ded fuel is not available, you may also use
unleaded petro linemergencies with an
octane ratin gof91RON.
Doin gsor esults in noticeably higher fuel con-
sumption ,and the engin epower output is
noticeably reduced. Avoid driving at full throt- tle.
If no fuel other than petro lwith 91 RON or a
lower grade is available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel at aquali-
fied specialist workshop.
C2 00, C250
! Only refuel using sulphur-free unleaded pet-
rol with at least 95 ROZ ,that conform stothe
European standard EN 228 or EDIN or an
equivalent specification.
You could otherwise impair engin eoutput or
damage the emission control system.
i In some countries, the available petro
lmay
not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant odours,
especially on short journeys. As soon as sul- phur-free fuel (sulphur conten
t<10ppm) is
used for refuelling, the odours are reduced.
C3 00
! Only refuel using super unleaded petro
lwith
at least 98 ROZ, if you want maximum per-
formance from the engine. Alternatively, you
can also use unleaded petro lofatleast
95 ROZ.
As atemporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded petro lwith an octane ratin gof
91 ROZ. Doin gsoresults in higher fuel con-
sumption and significantly reduced perform-
ance. Never refuel using fuel with alower
RON.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to
10% ethanol.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or EDIN
51626–1 can lead to increased wear as well
as damage to the engin eand exhaust system.
Additives ! Operatin
gthe engin ewith fuel additives
added later can lead to engin efailure. Do not
mix fuel additives with fuel. This does not
include additives for the removal and preven-
tion of residue build-up. Petro lmust only be
mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.O bserve the instructions for
use in the product description. More informa- tion about recommended additives can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel
brands that have additives.
The quality of the fuel available in some coun-
tries may not be sufficient. Residue could build
up in the fuel injection system as aresult. In this
case, in consultation with aMercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre, the petro lmay be mixed with the
cleanin gadditive recommended by Mercedes-
Benz. Always observe the notes and mixing
ratios specified on the container.

Importan tsafety notes G
WARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool dow nbefore yo utop up
the antifreeze .Make sur ethat antifreeze is
not spilled next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clea
nthe antifreeze from components before
starting the engine.
! Only ad
dcoolant that has bee npremixed
with the desire dantifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damag ethe engine.
Furthe rinformatio noncoolants can be found
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products, MB Specifications for Service
Products 310.1, e.g. on the Internet at

aq ualifie dspecialist workshop.
! Always use
asuitabl ecoolant mixture, even
in countries where hig htemperatures prevail.
Otherwise ,the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace- ment confirmed in the Service Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(Y page 371).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It is responsible for
the following:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibito rispresent in the
correct concentration, the boiling point of the
coolant during operation will be approximately
130 †.
The antifreeze concentrate/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. Thi swillp rotect the engine
cooling system against freezing dow nto
approximatel y-37 †.
R not excee d55% (antifreeze protection down
to -45 †). Hea twillo therwise not be dissipa-
ted as effectively.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibito rconcentrate in accordance
with MB Specifications for Service Products
310.1.
i Whe
nthe vehicle is first delivered, it is filled
with acoolant mixtur ethat ensures adequate
antifreeze and corrosion protection. 376

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If windscreen washer concentrate comes into contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trated oes not come into contact with the filler
neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB
WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid could dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and Win-
terFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying
nozzles could become blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water as the
level sensor may be triggered erroneously.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 371).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB SummerFit.
Mix 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correc tmixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round. Vehicle data
